Pei Luoyi nodded, took the chopsticks from his hand, picked up the Lotus Root Starch and bent over to taste it.

The taste was indeed good.

It could be said that the Chinese restaurants he had taken her to so far all served her well.

It wasn't that western food was hard to swallow, it was just that compared to the taste of Chinese food, she didn't like the taste of western food that much.

Once he started eating, he didn't even have time to talk. He really needed a table of food from 12 to 3 o'clock.

Gong Yan lowered his head, looking at the woman who was doing everything in an orderly manner, yet was swiftly stuffing food into his mouth. Suddenly, he thought of a small animal that looked similar to her, and couldn't help but smile.

"There's only the two of us here, are you in a hurry to eat because you're afraid of me stealing from you?"

Pei Luoyi shot a glance at the gentle man and knew that he was secretly mocking her for eating. She pursed her lips and muttered, "I'm hungry …"

The man's eyes were filled with bits and pieces of laughter. "Something big really can't affect your amazing good appetite."

Pei Luoyi nonchalantly shrugged, picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth without batting an eyelid. "People eat like the heavens."

A faint smile appeared on Gong Yan's face.

After a meal.

When Pei Luoyi realized that the man had eaten even less than she had, she felt embarrassed and took the initiative to clean up the mess. After packing everything up, she limped to the washroom to wash her hands.

When he came out again, he saw that the man sitting on the sofa had already opened his laptop and was staring intently at the screen. His slender fingers were tapping the keyboard from time to time.

There were two cups of hot tea on the tea table, giving off a thin mist.

Suddenly, she didn't know whether to walk over or sit on the bed.

Because he looked preoccupied, she knew he was working, and it would have distracted him if he had been.

But the meaning of the two cups of tea...

She hesitated, but then a man's voice called out, "Come here."

Gong Yan was still looking at the computer screen, but he moved a small space to the side.

"Oh." Pei Luoyi obediently walked to his side and sat down.

Gong Yan knocked on the door for a while before he closed the notebook and put it aside. When he turned around, he saw the woman sipping on a teacup with a faint smile on her face. She looked a little absent-minded.

Recalling the results of his subordinate's report, his eyes darkened.

"Did you see the driver of that car?" he asked, looking into the woman's downcast eyes.

Pei Luoyi turned her head to the side when she heard his words and met his calm gaze.

His line of sight was devoid of any other impurities, but it seemed to be more than just tranquil and simple. It was as if behind this tranquility, there was an unfathomably deep abyss.

Pei Luoyi shook her head and lowered her head. Her voice was warm, but certain. "I didn't see it, but I know whose car it was."

I don't think I've seen it many times, but I remember.

White Maserati.

Combined with the fact that they wanted to kill her in broad daylight, there was only one possibility for them to do so, no matter how hard they thought about it.

The man's face became even colder as he gently placed a large palm on top of her head.

Pei Luoyi raised her head and looked over. He then replied in a low voice, "I'll give you an explanation for this matter."

She did not understand and even frowned, "Why did you explain it to me? Does this have anything to do with you? "Since you have no responsibility, then you have no reason to do so. I know this very well."

He didn't have to be responsible for this. He had a relationship with Su Zhizhi, and she could see that unless this accident happened under the orders of the old lady, he still had a position to give her an explanation.

As Gong Yan looked at her small face that was full of righteousness, a hint of warmth rose up in his eyes. Only then did the chilliness on his face disappear completely.

"As a lady of the palace, it was I who did not protect you well and did not fulfill my duty. My answer was what I should have given you, it was not in your place."

Pei Luoyi's fingers stiffened as she held the teacup, before putting it down due to the scalding heat coming from the wall.

His heart was like the first rays of warm sun after the snow in the early spring. It turned into a gurgling stream that filled his entire heart.

She slightly lowered her eyes and suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. It was probably because the way they met each other had changed too quickly and she hadn't gotten used to it yet.

"Then you …" What are you going to do? "

Gong Yan's fingers went through her soft hair, he loved this feeling too much, his hand didn't move away from her head for a long time, "What do you want me to do?"

Pei Luoyi actually didn't like the big hand above her head, but she allowed the man to do as he pleased.

For a moment, she didn't know what answer to give to this question. Since the noon incident, she didn't have time to think about it.

Gong Yan looked at the woman's troubled face, his thin eyebrows were almost scrunched into a knot, and decided on her behalf.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to give me an answer. People can't escape, you can tell me when you've thought of how to deal with her. If you find it difficult, you can leave this matter to me to handle. You don't need to think too much into it, just leave it to me, hmm? "

He had thought it through for her, and he knew her concerns.

Pei Luoyi pursed her lips and nodded.

The two of them stayed in the room for more than an hour. During that time, the man received two or three phone calls, both on official business.

Pei Luoyi felt that he was truly very busy. Even though she had repeatedly urged him to return, he ignored her and insisted on accompanying her in her room.

She had only hurt her knee, and she would be bored if he stayed in the ward all afternoon.

She vaguely felt that he had something on his mind so he stayed behind. Pei Luoyi didn't go to ask further questions.

The clock hands turned in a circle.

Pei Luoyi still wanted to go over and take a look. She felt that it was unreasonable that she didn't even go over to take a look because she had saved her sister.

However, the man sat on the sofa and had no intention to leave. Since there was an independent washroom in this ward, it was difficult to find a reason to leave.

While she was racking her brains for an excuse, the man closed his notebook, stood up from the sofa, and extended his hand towards her. "Let's go?"

Pei Luoyi was stunned for a moment before she raised her head and asked, "Where are you going?"

The man's handsome eyebrows raised. "Didn't you want to go see your brother-in-law?"

She looked up at the clock for an hour at a rate he couldn't ignore, and it was hard not to notice.

Moreover, most likely, everyone was present at this point.

There was a trace of uncertainty in his eyes that was difficult to catch.

Naturally, Pei Luoyi did not notice that he had seen through her. She felt somewhat embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, she put her hand into his thick palm.

He led her out of the room.
